Cottage Kennels and Cattery has been an established, reputable boarding facility for domestic dogs and cats since 1988.

Owned and operated by The Morrison Family, senior members of the family have retired, Rick and Lisa currently manage the business with the assistance of their daughters Lauren, Sarah and Johanna.

We have a fabulous team of carers, Agnes, Emily, Jo-Anna, Lauren, Marie, Rebecca and several part-time staff. Amy, Donna, Lauren and Lisa comprise our admin staff. Martin and Rick are our drivers who provide our pick-up and delivery service. Finding the right staff is important to the success and peace of mind in any business. After operating the business since 1988, I would confidently suggest the people here now are the best team we have ever had.

Leaving your loved pet in a pet boarding facility is often worrying for you. We understand the concerns and anxieties involved. There is often the need to offer a tissue across the counter to an anxious pet owner as the say goodbye to their loved friend. Please know that during your pets stay, if there are ANY concerns at all regarding their health or well being, we will contact you or the nominated person to inform you or seek advice.

We are more than happy to take phone calls or emails from you while you are away, and give you current updates on how your pet is doing. We actually quite like phone calls from Europe and exotic destinations. Postcards are often received for pets if owners are away for a while, we probably like hearing more about your trip than your pet, but your mail goes straight to your pet, to be placed in their pen!

Inspections of our facilities are welcomed, this way you are free to decide if Cottage Kennels and Cattery is the place for you and yours. We conduct inspections between 11am - 3pm daily, excluding Sundays, school holidays and long weekends. We are extremely busy in these periods and simply would not be able to allow disturbances throughout the various facilities with groups of people wandering through.

Successful boarding is a shared responsibility between the owner and the kennel. You can help prepare your pet for the boarding experience by developing a healthy, sociable personality. Inform us if he/she has any special idiosyncrasies or medical problems. Make certain that all immunizations are current. Only clean, parasite free animals will be allowed to board. Therefore, pre-admission bathing may be required.
